No, please come to your session sober. Psychedelic plants such as mushrooms, psilocybin or ayahuasca are used by some people in other settings, and for a regression session they are unnecessary and I discourage them. Hypnosis on its own reaches the deep Theta brainwave state, and coming in clear gives you an authentic, stable state of focused relaxation. I have had clients who insisted on using plant medicine during a session, and as the substance wore off they became exhausted, struggled to focus or wanted to stop early. A sober session also means you can integrate what you learn afterward with a clear head. Everything you are looking for is available to you through hypnosis alone.

Empaths are highly sensitive people who act like energetic sponges, soaking up the heavy emotional baggage of everyone around them and holding onto it. Over time that constant absorption can turn into emotional overload and real physical tension, and many empaths describe their sensitivity as both a superpower and a burden. Learning to clear and protect your own energy field is the key, and there are specific grounding and shielding techniques made for empaths. I share those tools during your private session and we fit them to you, so you leave knowing how to keep your boundaries comfortably in place. Clients often tell me the difference is that they can be with people again without carrying everyone's feelings home.

An analytical, left brain mind, which I see often in engineers and software developers, is no barrier to hypnosis. To quiet that logical chatter I use a simple visual exercise I call the Ball. You imagine holding a ball, toss it up, and allow it to change into something different. It sounds almost too simple, but what it does is shift you from trying to analyze what is happening into simply allowing impressions to flow from your subconscious. Once that shift happens, the critical mind steps out of the way and my analytical clients access deep memories and knowings just as easily as anyone else. And here is something else about analytical minds. Engineers and programmers are often very creative people, using both sides of the brain, because engineers design things. I worked for 12 years as a programmer, so I can say from personal experience that writing software takes a combination of logic and creativity, and that combination makes an excellent hypnosis subject.

The womb regression is an important transition step in your session. While you were developing in your mother's belly, your consciousness was highly sensitive and absorbed whatever she was feeling. If she went through fear, anxiety or panic during that time, you may have carried those emotions into adult life believing they were your own. In trance I guide you to look at the womb environment and notice what was actually going on. Clients are often surprised to realize that a heavy feeling they have had all their lives belonged to their mother. Once you see that clearly, you can hand it back and clear it from your energy, and many people describe a real sense of relief.

They hold a high bar, and you formally apply rather than simply signing up. They look for at least 200 hours of formal hypnosis and regression training, hypnotherapy and past life regression training completed through an approved instructor, and real experience in the chair. That last one is the part people underestimate. They want one to two years of active practice and at least 40 documented past life regression sessions with your own clients before you enroll. My courses are approved to satisfy those prerequisites, and I will be honest with you about where you are on that road whenever you want to talk it through.

Yes. My scheduling software is set up to offer 10 AM or later as the standard starting time, but that is a baseline rather than a rule. If you are working around a tight schedule, a job constraint, or kids who need to be picked up in the afternoon, I can easily override it. Here is how to do it. Book the regular 10 AM slot on the calendar, then send me a quick email or text asking to move the start to 9 AM and I will shift it manually on my end. That way your date is held and the earlier start is confirmed with me directly.
